I would like to do a yearly goal challenge... It is open to anything that you wish to accomplish for this 1 year period... Or from when you decide to start and to end 12/31/14. Keep track as often as you wish. No rules. Daily, weekly, monthly or just 1/1 AND 12/31 :) What ever you wish!

I am planning on losing 67 lbs this year. That is 5.5 lbs a month. Sounds reasonable. Tho 3 months last year I only lost 4 lbs. So if I lose more upfront I can have those "holiday" months LOL Well Maybe not! I will post a weekly weight and a total monthly loss

8/20 210.8 (-2.8 and total loss 33.2 - much better!)
8/27 213.8 (+3.0 and total loss 30.2 :( )
August Total Loss: 216.0 Monthly GAIN +4.4 lbs - Total Loss for the year -27.8 =40.2lbs more to go )

Hey Sue!!! I think I will try to weigh here on the 1st of every month. I am starting at 244.6 and I want to get to 190. That is an average of barely over a pound a week. If I manage to hit that early I will recalculate based on how much time is left. I do measurements on the first sunday of the month so I will post those too on Sunday the 5th

I'm really hoping to get into maintenance by this time next year....where ever that ends up being. I originally thought I'd be happy at 77kg then I thought 73 then 72 now I'm thinking 70 though I haven't even hit 72 or 73 yet!!! I'm hoping this will help me stay on track during 2014. There's going to be long stretches of time where I'll be travelling and won't have access to a scale but for now I'm going to set it up as a weekly weigh in.

2/05- 77.1- not entirely surprising. I ate terrible for 3 weeks and deserve this!! Hopefully I can lose it pretty quick.
2/12- 76.0- I'd love to see another kilo loss next week but I think half is more realistic.
2/19- 76.1
2/26- No WI (VACATION)February Total Loss: ????
Year Loss: +2.0 kg

I am so happy to see such wonderful friends and nice people posting here and sharing this journey together! This WILL be a Great Year! We WILL do it! :) I know it.. I mean.. how could we not?!

Only Believe Starting the same weight.. that is cool (and less than last year!!!) I can't wait to see where you are going down too (I hope I am close!)

GettinFit You have a Great goal! :)

Mygirlvj You have a very reasonable goal and you will make it sooner than you think I bet!

PixikatThank you for sharing your journey with me (Us) I so enjoy your posts and positiveness!

SumHappy to see you :) and I KNOW you will make it! Its YOUR year!

Tyla :) I know you can do it and SURPRISE your doctor with your low weight. I would love to hear that his eyes twinkled and he congratulated you!

Kaitie You are so close and you will get that goal (SOON!) :)

Changergirl Traveling is tough on the body (But it sounds like you do this traveling thing) so not to worry about posting if you are not near a scale. This is a yearly thing and when you can weigh in will show your progress :)

We are going to have a Successful Year! It just feels like it and I trust that feeling!

Looks like there's a couple of us here that are hoping 2014 is the year we get into maintenance, hopefully this will help us stay on track.

wannaskipandlaugh thanks for organizing this, I know I'll definitely need it. I do travel quite a bit as I currently live in S.Korea so whenever there's a short holiday I leave. However this is the year I'm finally getting out of here and at the end I'll be travelling for 2 months straight which I've never done. And parts of it will be on the Trans-siberian railway where my only form of exercise may be walking up and down the train! I haven't heard great things about the healthy options available to eat either. Oh well. I'm hoping to get lower than I need/want before I go so gaining won't be as much of a problem. Who knows if that'll work.

My weight's been yo-yoing this week (I think sodium is to blame) so I'm hoping for the best for tomorrow's weigh-in.

Oh my gosh Changergirl... What a life you lead! :) Stressful but exciting. Walking the train! I used to do that when I took the train into Chicago but that was a short trip. Trans Siberian trip... Gosh I can't wait to hear about your travels and the sites and people you are going to meet! :)

Good Morning all.... I hope that most of your Holiday Weight has disappeared and that the groove is back in your life. 1st week into the New Year.. That is one week less you have to work at this journey! But I hope you had a good and happy week!
